JohnX11,
That's good advice in some circumstances.
The problem furloughed airline pilots have is that they're furloughed airlines pilots. Any prospective employer knows that you've shown your true colors and will run right back to airline flying ASAP. This may make them reluctant to spend...
Might be a bit of the cart before the horse but just for hypnoman's info, here's the process for converting between TCCA and FAA tickets. Not nearly as bad as it could be. And of course, the legal ability to live/work here is the foundation of it all. ...
hypnoman,
FlyBigE has given you good advice. I notice you're in Canada so have you asked your questions on avcanada.com ?
I don't know how different things may be up there compared to here in terms of pilot career path. But there is one path that is pretty solid: go in the military and...
Exactly. I began my airline career before there was anything resembling "airport security". So I've watched it go from that to full-on Gestapo/KGB especially where flight crews are concerned.
At some point, it's hard to not resent being treated like a criminal rather than a crew member.
I...
I never thought flying was boring and I spent 35 years in airline flying.
I did find flying routine but my job was to make sure things were routine. If nothing happened, I'd done my job.
There's a big difference between boring and routine.
If you find flying boring I'm not sure what you...
I wonder if the carriers that stopped "hiring" have stopped interviewing too. I suppose that they could still interview, give out CJOs and put them in a pool to await for the dust to settle.
If other airlines keep hiring at current rates, it may be that attrition from Spirit will take care of that 260 pilots. Many Spirit pilots are actively seeking employment elsewhere so I wouldn't be surprised to see attrition save the furloughs..or greatly reduce them.
Is there really such a shortage that recruiting in Australia is needed ?:

Judging from the number of questions on av forums about logging flight time, I suspect lots of people aren't clear about what's legal. At some point, I might have to count myself among them.
I suspect many people sitting on interview boards are also included. That might be flybige's point...
I got the impression flybige was referring more to the issue of whether an interviewer was familiar enough with the legal fine points of logging instrument time rather than disagreeing with the regs themselves.
I agree with him that I wouldn't want to bet my shot at a career slot on whether...
Well, it must be something like that. I spent 35 years in Part 121 ops and never gave so much as a thought to instrument currency. Nor could I have told you how many approaches I shot in IMC...ever.
mlf,
In looking a the Carpenter letter, I assume it refers to Part 121 ops.
Where it mentions maintaining instrument currency, I don't recall ever keeping track of/documenting that the way we had to for landings, for example. I'm sure the company would've had us submitting some kind of form...
I'd be interested to see that letter. I've tried to locate issues in that venue but failed. Do you have a link to it ?
the135pilot didn't offer enough detail to indicate whether his operation "requires" a F/O.
I'm not much of a lawyer. :unsure:
FAR 61.51(g) would seem to say that you have to be the one flying the airplane in IMC:
"...when the person operates the aircraft..."

I don't see much recent attention paid here to aircraft dispatchers, their professional track or career prospects.
It's a viable route for those who want to be part of the airline world but not as a pilot or mechanic. I've seen considerable attention paid to this on another website. It might...
Appears they've launched. I wish them luck:
"Recently, BermudAir launched operations with flights from Bermuda to Boston and Westchester, New York. The self-proclaimed all-aisle cabin class airline will operate Embraer 175 aircraft on routes from Bermuda to the United States. Catering to...
